Cooper Reynolds's life is going to the dogs... literally.
As if being a high school senior in a small Texas town wasn't hard enough, Cooper has bigger things to worry about than who he'll take to prom and whether or not the Poisonfoot Padres will win homecoming. He has less than a year before his eighteenth birthday, when a curse placed on his family will doom him to live in coyote form forever.
The last thing he needs to complicate his already messed-up life is a girl, but fate has other plans in mind for him when it brings Eloise "Lou" Whittaker to Poisonfoot. She's grouchy, sarcastic and has no love for her new Texas home, but she might be exactly the right person to help Cooper break the curse.
The clock is ticking, and Cooper will have to decide if he's willing to let Lou in on his dirty little secret before it's too late.
My thoughts:
I knew there were secrets but then more secrets showed up at the end. Secrets and secrets.
Lou comes to a little town, she does not want to live there but has no choice. And yes she meets a guy, a very mysterious guy who everyone tells her to stay away from.
Cooper is the guy everyone avoids. But that was no secret there for me, the city may not know, but it was already told to us that every male in his family turn coyote at 18...and stays that way. So poor guy has something to look forward to soon.
But more is going on than that. Like why do they all become coyotes? Why do his mum and her grandmother tell them to not see each other. Why are there other strange things going on?
But I must say, sometimes it kind of reminded me of Beautiful creatures..I have not read the book, but I did see the movie and yeah..similarities.
And it had an evil ending too, oh of all the cliffies. Must read book 2 soon. Like now!
Conclusion:
Love, magic and hostile feelings.

Wait, what?! They turn coyote at 18? Well, poor guy. :)
ReplyDeleteI'm glad you liked it.
Yeah, definitely not! :)
DeleteI like coyotes! Not sure I would want to be stuck as one though lol
ReplyDeleteDamn those cliffies!
Sounds good. Not sure it's my kind of book, though :)
ReplyDeleteWhen I see coyotes I instantly think of Mercy Thompson by Patricia Briggs. I hope the next book has answers to your questions.
ReplyDeleteOooh., I'm going to have to check into this one. I didn't read Beautiful Creatures either but did see the movie and really liked it. Now I just need to get on with the series. So if this one is kind of similar I'll like it.
ReplyDeleteLove the long hair on the cover and like th sound of the wicked ending
ReplyDeleteI'm not a fan of cliffhangers and tend to avoid them, so I think I'll wait to see how this series plays out before picking it up. Interesting review, though! :)
ReplyDeleteOh you have me curious about all of the secrets..despite the cliffy!!
ReplyDeleteYou read a YA and liked it! :D This does sound like a good book. I haven't seen/read Beautiful Creatures yet so that wouldn't bother me. Yes, cliffies are EVIL!
ReplyDeleteI didn't like Beautiful Creatures book or movie but this sounds good. Don't like the cover though.
ReplyDeleteThey can't turn back? Like a werewolf? So they had to reproduce at a young age? SOOOO many questions.
ReplyDeleteCould work. Something werewolf like without being a werewolf book.
ReplyDeleteSounds like good paranormal romance, I enjoy a good cliffhanger.
ReplyDeleteAhh the cliffhangers kill me!
ReplyDeleteI really enjoyed this one as well and I can't wait to read book 2!
ReplyDeleteI had no idea this was a paranormal! I need to check this one out. I like Sierra Dean's writing a lot.
ReplyDeleteI actually really like the sound of this one - and the cover! So glad you liked it!
ReplyDeleteThat's not a very autumnal cover.
ReplyDeleteYou were lucky you had Winter because the end of this one is a killer!!
ReplyDeleteWell I normally hate cliffies, so I'm thrilled to hear the next book is out and that it doesn't have the same painful ending!
ReplyDeleteOh. How did I miss that she had this series out? Hm. Thanks for sharing and sound good. :)
ReplyDeleteI've read this book the same day you posted the review, I loved it, and want more and more.
ReplyDeleteFamily curse? So, I'm wondering if he lives in a house full of coyotes...
ReplyDeleteI LOVE Sierra Dean. This is going on on the to-read list :)
